WWII Royal Navy Medal Group - Burma & Atlantic Stars - Named Box & Researchable

WWII Royal Navy Medal Group – Burma & Atlantic Stars – Named Box & Researchable

​A superb, untouched personal archive belonging to Mr. P. Craven, a veteran of the Royal Navy. This lot is a rare find because it includes the original Admiralty mailing box, which provides the crucial link between the medals and the sailor's identity.

​The inclusion of the Burma Star alongside the Atlantic Star tells a story of a long and varied service, moving from the convoy battles of the Atlantic to the tropical conflict in the Far East.

​The Lot Includes:

​Original Medal Group:

​The Atlantic Star: For operational service in the Atlantic and Home Waters.

​The Burma Star: Highly collectible; awarded for the grueling campaign in the Far East.

​The 1939–1945 Star: Standard WWII campaign award.

​Condition: Original patina, uncleaned, ribbons intact.

​Original Issue Box:

​Addressed to: Mr. P. Craven, 13 Lister Edge, Shearbridge, Bradford.

​Service Number: JX 393417.

​Official Return Address: Director of Navy Accounts, Foxhill, Bath.

​Wartime/Post-War Ephemera:

​TGWU Badge: Vintage Transport and General Workers' Union enamel lapel pin.

​Sacred Heart Shield: A "Cease! The Heart of Jesus is with me" devotional scapular (French made), commonly carried by sailors for protection.

​Historical Significance

​The "JX" prefix on the service number confirms Mr. Craven was in the Seaman and Communications Branch. Because British WWII medals were issued unnamed, the original box is the only official proof of provenance, making this a "researcher's dream" lot. You can use the service number to request his full naval records from the UK National Archives.

Postage can be arranged if required at buyers expense
